Note
A present-tense form that describes a state rather than an action, so it seldom turns up in the progressive: the child resembles her mother, not is resembling her. It takes its object directly, with no preposition in between. In modern use it nearly always means "is like." The older meanings of likening, imitating or making similar now belong to archaic and obsolete writing.
